St. Andrew’s Preschool, San Bruno, CA

St. Andrew’s Preschool (https://www.saintandys.org), nestled next to San Bruno City Park (https://www.sanbruno.ca.gov/Facilities/Facility/Details/City-Park-3), is searching for a passionate, experienced Preschool Director to begin under the mentorship of our beloved outgoing Director. Our current Director is retiring on June 14, 2024.

The Preschool Director is responsible for the success of the preschool. The Director ensures there is a caring and safe learning environment for the children, and leads the staff in promoting the physical, social, emotional, and spiritual development of children, ages two through five.

St. Andrew’s Preschool was founded in 1964 by the former St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, and enjoys a collaborative relationship with the staff and members of SEA Episcopal Church (https://www.seaepiscopal.org). At St. Andrew’s Preschool we believe that each child is special and unique, and deserves to feel good about themselves. Our well-rounded curriculum creates opportunities for every child to accomplish this in a nurturing environment with a full staff of dedicated teachers. Having such a gifted and excellent staff allows our Director to focus on the responsibilities of the position.
